The Bahá'í Faith

Baha'is from various parts of the world.

The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions. Its
founder, Bahá'u'lláh
(1817-1892), is regarded by Bahá'ís as the most recent in the line of
Messengers of God that
stretches back beyond recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha,
Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.

The central theme of Bahá'u'lláh's message is that humanity is one single
race and that the day has come for its unification in one global society. God,
Bahá'u'lláh said, has set in motion historical forces that are breaking down
traditional barriers of race, class, creed, and nation and that will, in time,
give birth to a universal civilization. The principal challenge facing the
peoples of the earth is to accept the fact of their oneness and to assist the
processes of unification.

One of the purposes of the Bahá'í Faith is to help make this possible. A
worldwide community of some five million Bahá'ís, representative of most of the
nations, races and cultures on earth, is working to give Bahá'u'lláh's teachings
practical effect. Their experience will be a source of encouragement to all who
share their vision of humanity as one global family and the earth as one
homeland.
